This contact with Masa was a lot of fun. 2300Z January 14, 2024. 15 meters was obviously in great shape. Suddenly I started hearing clock chimes. The sound seemed to be coming from my rig. Then I looked at my watch and realized we were at the top of the hour. Masa-san’s clock chimes were being picked up by his microphone. The microphone was in his I-pad, which he was using to connect to his ham radio station. Very cool.

Hello Bill
Thank you very very much for your Email attached the video of our QSO.
Your homemade transceiver is working excellent! I was very surprised to watch the video. I checked transmitting of your equipment is very good this morning. And this evening I understood receiving was also very very good. Congratulations on your homemade equipment.
I have tried remote operation for several months. But I’m afraid my transmitting is not good.
Thanks for your video, I could tell following things. Thank you so much l appreciate it.
My remote signal has almost no blinking up,I felt.
There are about 2 seconds latency on my transmitting.
Most important thing I realize is English conversation over the phone is very difficult for me. I need to learn intonation and pronunciation of English much more.
Again thank you very much for your Email,I appreciate it.
Have a nice day. And good night from Japan.
